Cancer Danger From Dry Cleaning?
Tracy Smith Explores Possible Risk Of Commonly Used Chemical Called "PERC"
(CBS) Americans spent more than $7 billion on dry cleaning last year, but cleaning your clothes may affect more than your wallet.
As Early Show national correspondent Tracy Smith points out, there's nothing dry about dry cleaning at all. Clothes are actually washed, in a solvent, one the federal Environmental Protection Agency calls it a possible-to-probable carcinogen, and you could be breathing it in, without even knowing it.
That was what happened with Mori Mickelson and her husband, Danny O'Brien.

In February of 2008, EcoClean traveled to the International Dryclean & Laundry Expo 2008 in Miami Florida, where they attended a standing room only wet cleaning presentation by the “First Lady of Wet Cleaning,” Ann Hargrove.
Hargrove is the Executive Director of the Professional Wetcleaners Network and is widely respected as the industry’s leading expert on the subject. She regularly leads seminars to packed houses of business owners and industry executives. In 1995, Hargrove sold her hydrocarbon solvent-based dry cleaning plant to lead Chicago area wet-cleaner, The Greener Cleaner, in an EPA pilot project investigating the efficacy of wet cleaning.
“[At first] I snickered to myself, thinking that there was no way [wet cleaning] could be done,” said Hargrove in a 2001 interview. Before long, she was hooked on the idea of wet cleaning.
“I don’t sell equipment or products,” said Hargrove. “I just give dry cleaners the facts and let them decide where they want to go. I firmly believe with wet cleaning, a customer gets a better product. When I show dry cleaners what wet cleaning can do, more and more of them decide that’s the way to go.”

Austin-based natural grocer and green retailer Whole Foods Market began carrying the SOCA line in March 2008.
Geneva has teamed-up with EcoClean to help raise awareness of non-toxic cleaning options among other designers and clothing manufacturers. Geneva believes, as EcoClean does, that garments can and should be eco-friendly throughout the garment life-cycle - from harvest, to manufacture, to user care. EcoClean was on hand in L.A. to encourage the adoption of a wet cleaning recommendation by the fashion industry – an important step in the global promotion of healthy cleaning alternatives.
